The Canadian dealers may have finally come to the end of thier GT backlogs. Here in AZ, GT's here are still selling within hours, I'm guessing that the local dealers are turning their V6's within a week or two of delivery. It's not that the v6's are bad, it's just that there's more inventory of them to go around.
I can't wait for our GT backlog to clear up - you can't even find one long enough for a test drive around here!

I don't mind the v-6 cars at all, but they really shouldn't guzzy them up like that unless the car has the guts to back up the look. Just think of the kids out there in the Civics with the 10' wings and blaaaa pipes. Most of us laugh at them. Too much stuff hanging off a v-6 'stang will undoubtedly draw the same response.
Lets leave them subtle.

Interesting, I've seen dealerships in Richmond trying to move V6s off the lot by adding upwards of $6K of accessories and stripes. Today, I saw one dealer add a ducktail, rear window covers and a host of (godawful) stripes to the car, bringing the car's price from $23K to $29K. I kid you not. They didn't have any GTs on the lot, but other lots in Richmond have 3 at most at any given time.

Around Indy the GTs are scarce. V6s are easy to find. GTs are selling right off the auto rack...
By the time any of the dealer websites are updated, the GTs are gone.

Where I live they can't keep either one [ 6 or 8] on the lots, and I have 2 ford dealers within 20 miles of each other. I was lucky when I got mine, came off the truck that day only had 2 of 4 left, and I got the color I wanted. Had no time to order one, since the car I was driving was a piece of s***. The other car sold while I was there.

No local dealers seem to have any GT's, but that seems to be more due to Ford not giving them any, than them selling everything they get right off the truck. Is Ford still holding a bunch back? I see more 03 Cobras on the road than I do 2005's (of any flavor, GT or V6) and supposedly there should be at least three times as many 05's on the road by now. Ford must have a big parking lot somewhere with 15000 GT's in it...

Door moulding may not look that great but common have you noticed the size of the parking spaces here , and the high number of seniors that really don't care if they happen to want to walk far and do park beside you wack it when they get out. Think of them as insurance. and No they are most certainly not required in Canada it is an option that I for one added for what I have wittnessed here.

Here was a red Gt with med parchment interior sold last week to the lucky kid that got T-Boned by a senior and took out his 2002 Mustang. If he only knew how much we all enjoyed Driving it . when after my ride I sat and signed !

I don't like the stripping either. They are not wide enough and not far enough apart.
The dealership here has stripped a couple GT's here and IMO they really messed the car up. They also asked 1K for the stripping.

I'd like to see that ducktail.
Can you get a pic?
What did it look like?
Can you find out who made it?

I posted a few pix on a topic called "Would You Pay $29K For This?" Hope it answers some of your questions!

I agree wider stripes look much better.
